Welcome to WikiProject United States Constitution on the English Wikipedia! We are a project dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the United States Constitution, with an emphasis on subjects with regional and national significance. This project was formed to coordinate the development of United States Constitution related articles and help maintain the United States Portal. Some project goals are to help list and categorize United States Constitution related articles, develop quality standards for articles and build templates that help users browse the articles that fall under this project. This project also provides a place for Wikipedians to share information and resources regarding improvements to United States Constitution related articles. Here, editors can ask for help with certain articles and bring otherwise overlooked articles and problems, to the attention of other editors. For more information of the role of WikiProjects, check out WikiProject guidelines.

Review and assessment
Assessment
An article's assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject United States Constitution}} project banner on its talk page (see the template page for more details on the exact syntax):
- {{WikiProject United States Constitution | class=??? | importance=??? }}
The following values for the class parameter may be used:
- FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class United States Constitution articles; should only be used for articles that are currently listed as featured articles)
- FL (adds articles to Category:FL-Class United States Constitution articles; should only be used for articles that are currently listed as featured lists)
- A (adds articles to Category:A-Class United States Constitution articles; should only be used for articles that have made considerable progress upon the GA version, an article that is undergoing FA review would be A-class)
- GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class United States Constitution articles; should only be used for articles that are currently listed as good articles)
- B (adds articles to Category:B-Class United States Constitution articles)
- C (adds articles to Category:C-Class United States Constitution articles)
- Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class United States Constitution articles)
- Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class United States Constitution articles)
- List (for articles which consist primarily of a list; adds pages to Category:List-Class United States Constitution articles)
- Dab (adds pages which are disambiguation pages to Category:Disambig-Class United States Constitution articles)
These classes no longer need to be explicitly specified to the template. They are deduced by the namespace of the page the template is placed upon.
- Category (categories in Category:Category-Class United States Constitution articles)
- Image or File (media in Category:File-Class United States Constitution articles)
The following values for the importance parameter may be used:
- Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance United States Constitution articles)
- High (adds articles to Category:High-importance United States Constitution articles)
- Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance United States Constitution articles)
- Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance United States Constitution articles)
- NA (for none articles, do not need importance rating for non-articles)
Articles for which a class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed United States Constitution articles and articles for which an importance is not provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance United States Constitution articles. The class and importance should be assigned according to the quality scale below.
Quality scale
The quality "class" an article receives should follow Wikipedia's regular guidelines for quality found below.
- Articles which have not been formerly evaluated, or which have failed a good article review, should not be assigned a quality rating higher than B class. Above that an article needs to go through a formal review process.
